~~~ Coolers in April ~~~

I don't even know what to tell you about the last couple of days. The sentence hearing was yesterday which to tell a very long story short was postponed because of legal arguments. I did not go but 2 of my fellow jurors went and the victim's family (her parents) extended a invitation to the jury that they really wanted to meet us/thank us.
It was not something I feel really comfortable doing, but I guess Mrs. Derksen, who is somewhat a celebrity in Winnipeg, asked specifically about me as we sat so close to each other. She gave me the biggest hug when I got there.

It was very emotional, wonderful and some good closure. We stayed almost 3 hours! They are amazing people who have had quite the journey and have many stories to tell.
I still have a cold and haven't really slept much the last 2 nights, the first because I was worried about the hearing and last night trying to process all the new info.

Tomorrow is the last of our schedule parties, a group of friends from high school. I'm looking forward to it but just feeling emotionally/physically exhausted at the moment. Trying to get food/house ready tonight as they will come over after work tomorrow.

Morning Coolers

Last night was Step Moves and 6 min abs (Debbie Siebers). I really like Step Moves but the really music that really pumps me up doesn't start until 1/2 way thru the routine.

Kim - This year has really been an emotional roller coaster ride for you. Hopefully now you're about to get off that ride Apparently spring is here (you wouldn't know it) so hopefully with the new season it'll be like coming out of a cocoon. Enjoy your evening tonight.

Evening Coolers

Just back from dinner at East Side Marios - talk about gross food. Couldn't finish my pasta but I'm okay with that as I wasn't really hungry. Completed Disc 33 - Ch/Ba today then took DS to the park for a few hours. The 1st sunny and warm day we've had in weeks.

Oh, also just pre-ordered including the deluxe bike one - thought maybe DH might like it even though we only have a normal excercise bike.

Sure hope Laurie is okay!??

Patricia I meant to say early, sorry about the Habs Hey, have you heard the Jets are coming back LOL

Patricia, I forgot that you had a Kindle. I ordered a cover the night before you posted. It should be here soon, I'll see what it looks like when it gets here I didn't really pay much attention to the style of the cover. Interesting that you've had to replace your Kindle so often.

I preordered as well but didn't bother with the cycling dvd. Are you getting some quiet time this weekend? Anymore painting?

We had 3 couples over last night. One couple was my sister and BIL. The other 2 were girls that I went to highschool with and so have been friends for 25 years although we only get together 3-4x a year. It's interesting although they knew that I was on this high profile trial for 6 weeks, not one mention of it. Some people just shy away from the topic. It reminds me of when my son died, it's like the classic "elephant in the room". Talk about everything except the most obvious.
Just find different people's behaviours interesting, when I first returned I avoided the front office at work as every time I walked in I felt swarmed and drilled with questions and then this group just avoided the topic.

Have to admit I haven't worked out in 4 days! Still not feeling great, mostly coughing and a bit of asthma, will try to get back into things tomorrow.
